A Minecraft Movie Streams on Max Soon

Heads up, Pinoy gamers and movie buffs! If you’ve been building castles and crafting tools in Minecraft for years, now’s your chance to see your favorite blocky world on screen at home. A Minecraft Movie is officially landing on Max this June 20.

This film brings the iconic game to life with a wacky adventure. Four unlikely heroes, played by big names like Jason Momoa, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Hansen, suddenly drop into the Overworld. Lucky for them, the famous Steve, yes, the same Steve from the game, comes to their rescue. And guess who plays him? None other than Jack Black!

When it first showed in cinemas, the movie made a huge splash. It scored over 300 million dollars during its opening weekend alone and has now raked in nearly a billion worldwide. Not bad for a game that started with simple blocks, right? Warner Bros. execs even called it a big win for the studio.

Critics didn’t love it much (it only got 47 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), but Filipino families and kids didn’t seem to mind. Many lined up to watch it anyway because sometimes, fun beats reviews. As one movie analyst put it, films like this find success through loyal fans, not just critic scores.

So if you skipped the cinema or just want to watch it again with your barkada or family, save the date. Grab your snacks, gather your crew, and get ready to craft an awesome movie night at home. A Minecraft Movie is ready to stream on Max this June 20!
